The Writer
Originally from Montreal, Canada, Leah Plante-Wiener (she/her) is a junior in NYU’s dramatic
writing program. She is beyond overjoyed to be produced for a second time by the Broke People; her play Marguerite and the Girls was featured as part of the Fall 2020 one-act festival. In her spare time, she enjoys being Broke People’s marketing director and spending an absurd amount of time of Instagram to fulfill her role, observing the pigeons in Washington Square Park—whom she would like to thank for their role in the creation of Tilly Birdbones—and hatching various plans to secure an American green card. (For legal reasons, that last bit is a joke.)
